This is a reread and I loved it. When I first finished the book back in 2018 (I think) it was 3-3.5 stars, but after I read it I couldn't stop thinking about the characters so I continued with the series, which is my absolute favorite series. The first time I read it the graphic content triggered me, but now that I knew what was coming not so much. But even if it was a reread I had forgotten so many things as the whole series is really fast paced and exciting and definitely a page turner so it was nice reminding myself of them. The friendship between Nathan and Gabriel developed almost out if nowhere (kinda- we just didn't see that much of them bonding on the page), but as I know what happens in the next two books and they are my favorite characters I don't mind haha. It's interesting that I loved Nathan much more now than than I read the book for the first time.
